It sounds like you are are not able to boot your Mac successfully at this point and you get stuck as a screen with a spinning wheel. I would recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get that resolved, named:


Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables

Note: 'Peripheral devices' refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.

  1. Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
  2. Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
  3. Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
  4. Start up your Mac.
  • If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Make sure the device is powered if it needs to be to operate correctly. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
    Note: If you have multiple peripheral devices and the issue only occurs when they are all connected, but not when each device is the only peripheral connected, see the Additional Information section below.
  • If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.

If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).

Perform a Safe Boot

Simply performing a Safe Boot may resolve this issue.

  1. Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
  2. Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).

    Note
    : A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
  3. If your Mac starts up as expected, immediately try restarting.

If the Safe Boot does not work, or the restart after a successful Safe Boot does not work, go to the next section.

Reset the NVRAM / PRAM

  1. Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
  2. Reset the NVRAM / PRAM.


If the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

All the very best,

You might not believe the cover from the November 1989 MacUser. They considered the Mac Portable so sexy it was photographed with a swimsuit model for the front cover! (Or maybe so unsexy it needed this treatment.)

When the Mac Portable was introduced, it had the same clock speed as the fastest prior Mac (it was introduced at the same time as the 25 MHz Mac IIci). At that time, many Mac users who needed a field computer were buying Compaq 286-based laptops with DOS 4.01 (and sometimes Windows 2.1).

It was portable, but it was no lightweight. The 16-17 pound Mac Portable never set the world on fire. It had a crystal clear 9.8″ 1-bit 640 x 400 pixel active matrix screen, a 16 MHz 68000 CPU, and a front-mounted handle (which doubled as a lock to keep the lid down). The best thing about the Portable was probably the up-to-10-hour lead-acid battery. (No memory effect!) Options included an internal modem and a numeric keypad or a trackball.

Color display? Aura Systems made ScuzzyGraph II, a SCSI peripheral that provided 8-color video for people who didn't want to buy (or couldn't afford) a Mac II. In 1989, ScuzzyGraph sold for $995 to $2,495 depending on resolution.

The Portable draws the same amount of power whether shut down or asleep, so it is generally best to put it to sleep unless it won't be used again for several days.

Energy saving tricks include turning off the speaker, trying to open all your files at once to minimize disk access, using a RAM Disk, and putting the hard drive to sleep manually. Rumors to the contrary, it makes no difference at all in terms of energy use what desktop pattern you use.

The huge size and massive weight of the otherwise-impressive Portable make us call it a Limited Mac.

The Portable was the first Mac to ship with a preformatted hard drive (and the only portable Mac with a 3.5″ hard drive) and a preinstalled operating system. Along with the Mac IIci, it was one of the first Macs to user surface mount technology.

MacUser commented that this was 'by far the most complex piece of machinery devised for sale by Apple computer' (Nov. 1989). Gender prison mac os. Benchmarks showed it significantly faster than the 8 MHz Mac SE, and nearly as fast as the 16 MHz 68020-based Mac II on some tests.

The Portable was upgraded with a backlit screen; more, less-expensive RAM (2-4 MB standard); and a lower price in February 1991.

When buying a used Portable, be sure to get all the memory you need, since it's difficult to come by nowadays, and don't expect it to include a working battery. Bear in mind that the Portable only supports up to 9 MB of RAM and only functions in 24-bit mode. Hotshot tiler mac os. To get the most out of that memory, consider using RAM Charger 8.1, which offers better memory management than the Mac OS.

  • You can use a PowerBook 100-series AC adapter to run the Portable without the internal lead-acid battery. However, you will lose PRAM settings if you unplug the power (date, time, cache size, etc.)
  • Godwin says, 'If the acid battery dies, one can bypass it and convert the Portable into a luggable. One needs tw AC adapters – the original one and a 9V DC adapter. Take out the 9V DC battery and replace it with a 9V 1A power adapter. Then remove the battery and cover (there is a switch at the battery cover which we need to disable). Plug the two adapters in and viola! one of the sleekest Macs on anyone's desktop!'
